What is retrograde? Retrograde motion is an apparent reversal in a planet's movement through the zodiac,
as seen from Earth. It is an optical illusion caused by the different orbital speeds of Earth and the other planets.
Retrograde planets are often associated with delays, revision and introspection in the area of life they govern.
